He also says he hopes to meet the two men personally to offer a face-to-faceapology. "Creating an environment that is both safe and welcoming for everyone is paramount for every store". When the friend arrived, a white male, he questioned the officers about what the men had done.

"The police did not just happen upon this event - they did not just walk into Starbucks to get a coffee", he said.

After the Starbucks arrest video went viral on Friday, people of all races have been going in on Starbucks.

The reactions to the video were quite strong and a few people were quick to condemn the arrests. For many entrepreneurs and self-employed workers, Starbucks is an important place to work and conduct business meetings - such as the one apparently interrupted by the Philadelphia police.
